Mentioned in "Kirkbie-Kendal, Fragments collected relating to it's ancient Streets and Yards; Church and Castle; Houses and Inns", John F Curwen, 1901 in relation to the Commercial Hotel (later Kendal Hotel) on Highgate<br />
<br />
<blockquote>“The [[Roebuck (Highgate)|Roebuck]]” once swung across the street from the premises adjoining, until Alderman Berry purchased the inn and re-built on its vaulted cellars the present building. Here he resided and carried on an extensive ironmonger’s business, until his happy windfall of some £20,000, enabled him to retire to Ash Meadow, Beetham. On the 21st of October, 1817, when the premises were occupied by a linen draper of the name of Dent, a serious fire broke out which did considerable damage to the property. And again another fire occurred in 1828. <strong>[[Kirkbie-Kendall 1900|John F Curwen, Kirkbie Kendal (1900) p73]]</strong></blockquote><br />
